Hello!

I live in Hawaii and there are usually a couple of Bon Dances every year. I go to them, but since I don't know how to do any of them, I just watch. ><

Is there like a website or a DVD or VHS or whatever with the different Bon Dances (maybe even an instructional video Fingers crossed ) so I can learn?

Thank you!

Oooh, thanks for the video! An interesting watch, indeed!

Also, does anyone know where I can download/purchase the (�\�[������) So-Ran Bushi Song ? (The fast version that is featured in Kinpachi Sensei and all over Youtube)

I can only find the traditional, slower version >< I always wanted to dance to it!

there really isn't much about it. just follow the rhythm and the way (movements) that everyone else is doing.
-that's what i do when i attend bon dances.
no one will criticize, as long as you're having fun. -trust me, i know from (a lot) of experience.
